		<description>The reason the poll was newsworthy is that it comes on the heels of Arpaio&#039;s least popular one-day event, that Thomas was also dragged into.  People expected a dip, and there really wasn&#039;t one.  The poll shows either people don&#039;t know, know and don&#039;t care, or have ignored the case altogether.  This is the New Times, right?  The porno-peddlers.  The foul-mouthed farcicists.

Arpaio&#039;s used as a benchmark by pollsters.  They often throw in a question about Joe as his name recognition is quite high.  Ask someone discussing local politics their opinion on Joe and if you get a blank stare...

The poll shows Thomas has successfully inoculated himself.  Tough on crime and all that but also the drug commercials, the immigration law hawkishness, the plea bargain elimination stuff...all from a pro-lifer, no less.

The crime rate in this county is among the highest in the country.  Subpoenas aside, the ACLU is going to make precious little progress here.</description>

		<description>Hello Maricopa Conservative,

How are the figures incorrect? I looked at the numbers on the Behavioural Research poll. http://www.brcpolls.com/07/RMP%202007-IV-13.pdf 29% excellent/good rating plus 23% fair rating equals an 83% overall favorable rating if you factor in the 11% negative rating and exclude the 37% undeclared. Looks good to me! Glad to see someone disputing that biased polling company, whose job seems to be to keep Democrats in office.

		<description>If you&#039;re going to fabricate evidence, don&#039;t link to it!

Thomas&#039; positives have remained totally stagnant (have you ever heard of a margin of error?)  Two points is absolutely without meaning.  

Also, his negatives have doubled.  Worst analysis of a poll I&#039;ve ever seen.</description>
